Overview
The Okuma MULTUS B200II is a horizontal multitasking turning and milling center that combines a powerful turning spindle with a true B-axis milling spindle for complete part machining in a single setup. It sits at the compact end of the MULTUS B series, designed for shops that need full multitasking capability without the size and cost of the larger B400II and B750. Maximum turning diameter is 630 mm (24.8 in) with a maximum machining length of 750 mm (29.5 in).
The main turning spindle delivers 22/15 kW (30/20 hp) at up to 5,000 RPM with 300 Nm (221 ft-lb) of torque through an A2-6 spindle nose with 65 mm (2.56 in) bar capacity. The milling spindle runs up to 12,000 RPM with 22/18.5 kW (30/25 hp) through a Capto C6 tooling interface, providing genuine machining center performance for drilling, boring, tapping, and contour milling.
The B-axis swings 225 degrees (-30 to +195 degrees) with 0.001-degree minimum increment, driven by a direct-drive motor for zero-backlash positioning. Combined with C-axis rotation, Y-axis travel of 130 mm (5.1 in), and the standard ATC holding 40 tools (options up to 80), the MULTUS B200II can reach virtually any angle on a workpiece for complex 5-axis-like machining.
X-axis travel is 390 mm (15.4 in) and Z-axis travel is 750 mm (29.5 in). Rapid traverse hits 40 m/min on X and Z. An optional sub-spindle enables back-end machining without unclamping, making the B200II a true done-in-one platform. Okuma's Thermo-Friendly Concept and Collision Avoidance System are standard.
The MULTUS B200II competes with the Mazak Integrex i-200, DMG Mori CTX beta 1250 TC, and Nakamura-Tome MX-100. Pricing runs $350,000-$500,000 new. Machine weight is approximately 12,500 kg (27,558 lb). The machine targets aerospace, medical, and precision job shops that need to consolidate turning, milling, drilling, and contouring into a single chucking.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- True B-axis milling spindle with 225-degree swing and Capto C6 interface provides genuine machining center performance, not just driven turret tools
- 12,000 RPM milling spindle enables high-speed finishing on aluminum and precision milling on steel and titanium
- Direct-drive B-axis with 0.001-degree increment provides zero-backlash positioning for precise angular features
- Optional sub-spindle enables complete done-in-one machining including back-end operations without unclamping
- 40-80 tool ATC provides the tool library depth needed for complex multitasking parts
- Compact footprint relative to its capability makes the B200II accessible for shops stepping into multitasking
Limitations
- 130 mm Y-axis travel is narrower than some competitors, limiting off-center milling reach on larger-diameter workpieces
- OSP control requires learning Okuma's multitasking programming approach, which differs from Fanuc and MAZATROL
- Capital cost of $350,000-$500,000 requires consistent complex-part work to justify versus separate lathe and VMC
- 5,000 RPM main spindle speed is adequate but not exceptional for high-speed aluminum turning
- Complex multitasking programs require advanced CAM software with dedicated Okuma post-processors

Frequently Asked Questions
01
A new MULTUS B200II typically runs $350,000-$500,000 depending on sub-spindle, milling spindle speed options, tool magazine capacity, and automation. This positions it as the entry point into Okuma's MULTUS multitasking lineup.
02
Both are 200-class multitasking machines with similar capacity. The Mazak uses MAZATROL SmoothAi with conversational programming, while Okuma uses OSP. Okuma's Thermo-Friendly Concept and Collision Avoidance are advantages. The Mazak typically offers 20,000 RPM milling spindle option versus 12,000 on the Okuma. The Integrex has a slightly larger Y-axis range.
03
The B400II has a larger turning diameter (710 mm vs 630 mm), longer machining length (1,500 mm vs 750 mm), more powerful main spindle (30 kW vs 22 kW), and larger Y-axis travel (200 mm vs 130 mm). The B200II is for smaller parts where compact size and lower cost are advantages.
04
The B200II provides 5-axis capability through X, Y, Z, B (milling spindle tilt), and C (main spindle rotation). It supports 5-axis positioning and can be configured for simultaneous 5-axis contouring. For complex aerospace surfaces, verify the specific control configuration with Okuma.
05
Major CAM systems including Mastercam, Esprit, GibbsCAM, Siemens NX, and CATIA support Okuma MULTUS post-processors. The complexity of multitasking programming typically requires CAM rather than manual G-code, especially for combined turning-milling-5-axis operations.
